Rookhill Farmhouse

DESCRIPTION

Rookhill Farmhouse is located within walking distance of the heart of this well served village and occupying a wonderful plot comprising formal gardens, extensive paddocks to the rear and an excellent range of attractive brick built barns/outbuildings - in total the property stands within approximately 2.3 acres. Over recent years the property has seen a tasteful and thoughtful programme of sympathetic renovation and is presented in excellent order throughout, with contemporary bathrooms and en suites and a modern farmhouse style kitchen with integrated appliances.

ACCOMMODATION

Internally the property provides three main reception rooms, a well proportioned breakfast kitchen with utility room and cloakroom off. A traditional staircase rises to the first floor which offers a main bedroom with en suite, three further double bedrooms and a high quality family bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The property stands within delightful gardens and grounds which extend to approximately 1/3 of an acre with a southerly aspect to the rear. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a nice variety of well stocked borders, established mature trees and shrubs. Beyond the gardens directly to the rear is a separate 2 acre grass paddock. The paddock land is a delightful feature of this property, nestling next to the village cricket club.

To the front the property is set well back from Main Street with access off the main road but there is also a secondary access off Woods Lane which leads to a lane at the rear of the property giving secondary access into the rear garden and paddock.

TRADITIONAL RANGE OF BARNS / OUTBUILDINGS

The property benefits from an attractive period brick and pantile barn with former consent for conversion into a separate residential dwelling. Although planning is now lapsed it clearly offers excellent potential for conversion to an interesting and individual home with immense character. Planning was originally granted in 2014 and the Gedling Borough Council planning reference is 2014/1138DOC and although re-application is likely to be required it does demonstrate the excellent potential on this interesting period building. The original consent allowed for conversion to a substantial property approaching 2,500 sq ft with two reception rooms, a dining kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The converted building would make for a particularly generous home within a pleasant farmyard village setting. Further information can be found under the above planning refence on Gedling Borough Council's Planning Portal.
